Design and Detailing of Solid Slabs

Agenda of Tutorial 04

1. Thickness of Solid Rectangular Slabs

2. Loads on Solid Slabs

3. Applications
 Example 1

The floor plan of solid rectangular slabs shown is designed to carry a service
live load of 5 kN/m2 and a flooring cover of 2 kN/m2. The floor is constructed
in a factory of environment condition 2, where dynamic machinery is used. The
width of supporting beams is 250 mm and their depth is 700 mm.
Take fcu = 30 N/mm2, and fy = 400 N/mm2.
Available rebar diameters for slabs are 8,
10, and 12 mm. Use centerline

dimensions in the analysis.
a. Classify each slab panel and identify
its main and secondary direction
b. Calculate one thickness for entire floor S1 S2 S3

system to control its deflections.

c. Identify required strips to analyze

6.5 m
floor slab and their beam models
d. Calculate ultimate line loads of
each strip and show loading cases
for
bending moment demands of slab
